Christmas Eve let John and I have a romantic dinner at Aquitaine before heading off to Church for Christmas Eve service. We were surprised to find they carried Bitburger beer... reminding us of the Dieckman's.
Though Izzy was worried Santa wouldn't find them, he did. She even wrote him a note and put it in her stocking saying so.
Micah & Izzy were the first ones up. Sleeping Beauty (aka Victoria) arrived 30 minutes later. Izzy & Micah were kind enough to only look at the gifts inside their stockings until Victoria joined them.
As soon as Victoria found she had acquired more accessories, off she went to put them on and proudly show them off.
Micah has entered the realm of superheroes. His favorite... Batman. This was one cool mask that could alter your voice making you sound like Batman. His eyes even lite up at the same time.
John's Secret Santa gave him what he's talked about for awhile since he moved her from Minnesota... My Pillow. I'm still waiting to here what he thinks about it.
John had a lot of fun shopping with Izzy to buy my Christmas presents. One that I have wanted since getting a new stove is a griddle for the middle burner. How did she know I wanted that....
On Victoria's wish list was more dress up closes. Aunt Diane didn't disappoint with this glitter leopard outfit. I might collect all the glitter and mail it back to her since it is EVERYWHERE.
John found these pretty amazing boots that we both knew Izzy was go bonkers over. Sure enough, she did.
On Izzy's wish list was an Orbeez foot spa. It uses tiny gelatinous beads that expand when placed in water for several hours. The water is then drained leaving cool bead that shower your feet. Oddly, it does feel good. Mommy definitely likes this as it is not as messy.
Oma & Opa gave the kids a toboggan. Given its unusual shape and size, they have been wondering all month what could it possible be.
Bring on the snow!
